Kjersti Strong Earns Shamrock Office Solutions Student-Athlete of the Week on Her Senior Week

MORAGA, Calif. — Kjersti Strong played her final two games in a Gaels uniform this weekend, as the Saint Mary's hosted LMU and Pacific in their final two matches of the season. Kjersti led the Gaels in kills in both of those matches, as the Gaels split the weekend to finish in fourth place overall in the WCC, their best team finish since 2018. For her outstanding effort this week, Strong was voted the Shamrock Office Solutions Student-Athlete of the Week. 

Over this week's games, Strong tallied 19 kills and hit at 0.415. She recorded her fourth career errorless contest against LMU, and her 16th double digit kill match in 28 tries this season. Kjersti also inked her name into the Saint Mary's record book, as she will graduate with 0.313 career attack percentage, the highest ever in program history. Kjersti also set the record for most WCC Player of the Week honors won in a single season, with four. 

In total, Kjersti's name will appear in the history books six times. On top of her attack percentage record, she also ranks seventh in career blocks per set (1.21), seventh in single season attack percentage (0.340), third in single season block assists (149), second in single season total blocks (165), and fifth in single season blocks per set (1.50).
